Chapter 289: Chapter 124: Class Rep, Ah Xi, I Will Definitely Come Back! (Part 2)

"Class monitor, where are we going now?"

The class flower, who usually had her own opinions, was a bit scattered in her thoughts at the moment and had to rely on Su Zelin to make decisions.

Su Zelin looked at his watch; the hour hand pointed to half past five.

He pondered for a moment: "Let’s wait in the train station waiting hall for now, don’t wander around. There are staff maintaining order here at night, so it’s actually the safest place. It’s not too late to go to the bus station after dawn. These city-bound buses usually don’t start too early, probably after nine!"

Liuu Wanyin’s home was in a small mountain village in Shang Qiu County, estimated to take a bus from the city to the county town, and then another bus from the county to the town. After transferring a few times, they would look for some transportation from the town to the village.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you!"

"..."

Nanhua Village, Dragon Ditch.

In a certain dilapidated thatched hut, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was boiling medicinal herbs, the flickering firelight reflecting on her beautiful face, her eyebrows knitted tightly with worry.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Until the medicine in the earthen pot boiled, the thick herbal scent permeating the hut, did the girl snap back to reality, hurriedly reducing the firewood, leaving the charcoal inside to continue simmering.

"Sister!"

At this moment, a call came from outside, followed by a little girl with two pigtails running in.

"Wanchan, what’s up?"

Seeing her little sister in a hurry, Liuu Wanyin couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Third Grandpa brought, brought an older brother and sister here to our house!"

Liuu Wanchan was panting heavily, having met Third Grandpa at the village entrance and hurried back to report the news upon receiving instructions.

"An older brother and sister?"

Liuu Wanyin was slightly stunned.

Their family rarely had guests, and even when they did, they were usually people from the same village. Dragon Ditch wasn’t large, with only seven or eight households, and her little sister knew everyone in the village.

With Liuu Wanchan saying this, the "older brother and sister" she referred to must have come from outside the village, not locals.

Where did these guests come from?

Liuu Wanyin was puzzled.

The medicine wasn’t ready yet, so she stepped out of the thatched hut.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard Third Grandpa’s voice from outside.

"We’ve arrived. This is Big Sis’s house."

When Liuu Wanyin saw the two people behind Third Grandpa, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her beautiful face full of disbelief.

"Class, class monitor, Ah Xi!"

"Big Sis, I met these young people on my way back to the village with my big iron ox. They asked me how to get to Dragon Ditch. I said it was a coincidence and asked who they were looking for. They said they were your friends, so I gave them a ride with the iron ox!"

Third Grandpa was a little old man in his sixties, a little aged but energetic, robustly built, with a voice like a bell, always smiling pleasantly.

"Yes, Third Grandpa, they’re my friends and college classmates!"

Liuu Wanyin finally regained her composure, still shocked in her heart.

She never expected Su Zelin and Luo Xi to travel a thousand miles and suddenly appear at her home.

"Big Sis, how’s your dad’s leg?"

"It’s getting better."

"That’s good to hear. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be off then. Big Sis, take good care of your classmates; traveling such a long way isn’t easy!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Both Su Zelin and Luo Xi expressed their gratitude to the little old man.

If it weren’t for meeting him and catching a ride on the big iron ox, getting here would not have been easy and would have required a lot more effort.

As soon as Third Grandpa left, Liuu Wanyin couldn’t help but ask, "Class monitor, Ah Xi, what brings you here?"

"The class monitor was worried something happened to you, insisted on coming in person!"

"Ah Xi, you’re just the same, insisting on following me like a shadow. Do you think my butt smells nice?"

"Pft, smelly as a fart, shameless!"

"..."

From Third Grandpa’s mouth, they had already roughly understood the situation.

Actually, this matter could be considered both significant and insignificant.

Just a few days ago, Liuu Wanyin’s father accidentally broke his leg while chopping wood in the mountains.

Her mother was no longer around, and her father was the main breadwinner, usually relying on some farming, raising a few pigs, and some chickens and ducks to make a living.

Now that her father’s leg was injured, needing rest and temporarily unable to work, the younger siblings were still little, and there was also an elderly grandmother to take care of.

With no other choice, Liuu Wanyin had to take leave from school and the electronics store, planning to stay home longer until her father’s leg healed and he could work again before returning to school.

In fact, in her past life, it was due to the same incident that Liuu Wanyin voluntarily gave up her education.

At that time, the pressure on her was overwhelming.

She worked hard washing dishes on the snack street until midnight every day, then had to attend classes during the day, her rest was always lacking, and both her physical and mental states deteriorated, with her social anxiety worsening.

Adding insult to injury, the financial aid application didn’t go through, and the expensive tuition was an unbearable burden on this poor family.

The honest Liuu Father worked himself to the bone to send Liuu Wanyin to school, besides farming, he also raised chickens, ducks, and pigs, and occasionally had to go up the mountain to chop wood and cut grass.

So, when he accidentally broke his leg, Liuu Wanyin felt overwhelmed with guilt, thinking her father got injured due to overworking for her sake.

Considering that her younger siblings also needed money for school, continuing like this would break her father.

That incident became the straw that broke the camel’s back.

An already exhausted Liuu Wanyin broke down; no matter how much Liuu Father persuaded her, she refused to return to the finance academy, opting instead to drop out and help at home.
